Commentary for Moed Katan 27:9
הא אתמר עלה אמר מר בר רב אשי איזורו מוכיח עליו
R'Ashi's comments on our Mishnah were [in this form]: R'Zera enquired, What if a craftsman<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' A barber or bath attendant who is permitted to work on the fourteenth of Nisan, who mislaid or lost one of his tools, and his customers see him worried and hindered in his work.');"><sup>12</sup></span> had lost something on the day before the festival? Do we say that since he is a craftsman, the reason [why he is allowed] is obvious, or since the reason is not so obvious as in those other cases [mentioned in the Mishnah], he may not [attend to himself in the festival week]?
